Amphibious Combat Vehicle 1.2
Abstract
The Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) will be a partial and complementary replacement for the legacy Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV) battalion's within the Marine Divisions. ACV-equipped AA companies will provide protected mobility and general support lift to elements of Marine Infantry Battalions. The ACV, an advanced generation, eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier, will mitigate current and projected capability gaps by providing improved lethality against dismounted enemy troops, more effective land and water tactical mobility, and increased force protection and survivability from blast, fragmentation, and kinetic energy threats. The ACV program is structured to be executed in multiple phases, with the first phase designed to provide an initial operational capability of personnel carriers. Subsequent phases are planned to expand the personnel carrier capacity and to develop additional command and control and tactical recovery capabilities. ACV 1.2 will provide the Marine Corps with armored protected land mobility to effectively maneuver with the rest of the armored MAGTF, the direct fire lethality to support infantry maneuver, and the water mobility to self-deploy from amphibious shipping. In addition to fielding more ACV Personnel variants, ACV 1.2 will develop and field Command & Control and Recovery variants.
